Has anyone had any luck finding referrals or networking through LinkedIn? Because I'm just getting a lot of solicitations and I'm not seeing the value on that site like I used to.

I agree with you, I don’t get any interviews or any replies from recruiters

Yes. 100%. Whenever someone I know is looking for a job, I always tell them to build up their Linkedin profile and start looking for jobs on there. Linkedin is nice because it's so easy and so many people use it. Plus, if you're interviewing with a company, you can look at people that already work there and compare your skills to theirs. It's the only social media platform that's worth something imo.

Yeah. It’s how I get almost 100% of my first contact from recruiters. I almost don’t pay attention to anything else these days.

I've gotten multiple calls back, especially for recruited jobs on LinkedIn jobs. Ended up turning them down for one i found through a friend but it still seemed promising. Honestly most of them are cross-posted on several platforms so you're still applying to the same thing.

I got my current job through a job linked on LinkedIn. it was also my first job switching from help desk to networking.

I got my current job from LinkedIn. I should add that I only started getting anything useful out of it after I had gained experience and useful skills - I was on LinkedIn when I started trying to get my foot in the door and I wasn't getting squat back then.

Read all the comments above and wow! Hmm I haven't seen the kind of luck others here have had.

I have a townhome I want to rent out and wanted to see if there would be any interest here for a furnished townhouse (just main things like bedframes, sofa, dining table, bar stools etc). Most property managers are saying people wouldn't go for furnished, but I think it might be helpful for someone who doesn't want to move stuff or buy stuff. Wanted to get opinions from this bowl as the property is in Denver - thoughts? It's a 3 bed, 2.5 bath in a nice neighborhood.
